At an Impasse with the Government Shutdown

Published January 14, 2019

Speaking at the American Farm Bureau Federation convention, Kansas Senator Jerry Moran addressed the ongoing government shutdown. Moran says funding the government should not be a tool to achieve political goals. “When there is this kind of impasse and both sides are holding firm, usually, there is someone behind that scenes negotiating a way out and I don’t see anybody negotiating a way out and my prediction is that this lasts a while longer.” Moran says one way to move forward could be by finding common ground on immigration issues, including farm labor.
